The New Orleans Saints and the Denver Broncos haven't met much on the field lately. But that doesn't mean they don't have a lot of respect for the other team. Broncos coach John Fox knows the Saints well from his years spent as the coach of the Carolina Panthers. Saints quarterback Drew Brees and Broncos Peyton Manning last met in Super Bowl XLIV, a game that turned out well for the Saints. Both quarterbacks said they have a lot of respect for the other in their respective press conferences Wednesday.

Sun Herald: The Saints-Broncos matchup will be a family reunion for Saints interim coach Joe Vitt.

Denver Post: The bounty scandal has created quite the coaching carousel for the Saints. The Broncos are great in the fourth quarter, but they know they need a fast start against New Orleans on Sunday. The Saints will be leaning a lot on Brees, as their run game is ranked No. 32.
